Title: Method and apparatus for producing digital signals representing  periodic eccentricities of a rotating body
IPC: G01B7/312
Filed: 1972-01-26
Abstract: 1324620 Measuring eccentricity of rotating bodies CINCINNATI MILACRON Inc 26 Jan 1972 [23 Feb 1971] 3734/72 Heading G4H Apparatus for generating digital signals representing periodic eccentricities of a rotating body comprises transducers for generating a periodic analogue signal proportional to the eccentricities of a rotating body, a timing generator dividing the rotation period into a number of equally spaced timing instants, a digitizing circuit for digitizing the magnitude of the analogue signal in each of said instants and means for storing the digital signals in locations related to each timing instant. Transducers 34, 36 sense eccentricities of shaft 38 as it rotates and the signals are amplified (40, 42) and subtracted at 44 to give an error signal. An encoder comprising a toothed wheel on shaft 38 and pickup 46 feeds pulses to timing signal generator 48. The arrival of a pulse at timing signal generator 48 sets the A/D converter in operation and causes a counter in address circuit 49 to advance. The counter produces via a decoder a unique output which addresses a storage element in store 50. The digital value previously stored in this element is transferred to buffer store 52 and the element is cleared. When the A/D conversion is completed the digital value is transferred to the store. The next pulse from encoder 46 causes a similar procedure for the next storage element; the number of addresses in the store being equal to the number of teeth on the toothed wheel.

Title: Improvements in or relating to automatic weighing and totalising apparatus
IPC: G01G11/20
Filed: 1931-02-06
Abstract: 367,159. Weighing-apparatus fittedto conveyers ; weighbridges. DENISON & SON, Ltd., S. and BROOKES, F., Hunslet Foundry, Leeds. Feb. 6, 1931, No. 3764. [Class 143.] In an automatic weighing and totalizing apparatus for use with a conveyer or rai system or for totalizing the weight of material deposited periodically in a hopper, tank or the like, such as is described in Specifications 9339/95, 3351/09, and 320,966, [all in Class 143, Weighing-apparatus], a positive drive mechanism having one-direction ratchet teeth and pawls at the sides is used to transfer the weight-registering movement of the quadrant to the totalizing counter. When the positive drive mechanism is used both for totalizing and discounting, the sliding clutch member G is formed with ratchet teeth R, Q constructed for operation in opposite directions. The hub H of the measuring quadrant C, and the discounting boss M, carry spring-pressed pawls S. When the clutch member G is moved laterally by the usual mechanism, the engaging pawls drive the clutch member G and its connected totalizer J, in the appropriate direction. The totalizer may be driven by gearing K or by a direct shaft drive from the clutch.

Abstract: 998,466. Sliding clasp fastenings. NOVI PATENTVERWERTUNGS G.m.b.H. Feb 2, 1962, No. 4069/62. Heading E2S. [Also in Division D1] Sliding clasp fasteners having fastener elements formed of nylon or polyurethane monofilaments woven into the edges of the stringer tapes are woven with the fastener elements interengaged by looping the monofilaments round a wire 19, off which the loops subsequently slide. The monofilaments 7a, 8a may be flat, in which case they are twisted by the action of beating-up to produce interlocking formations as shown; or they may be of polygonal or circular cross-section, in which case beating-up produces indentations in them. Deformation of the monofilaments may be assisted by local high-frequency or radiant heat; the fastener may be subsequently heated again to release internal stresses. Alternatively, monofilaments previously provided with deformations may be used. Insertion of the monofilaments may be interrupted to weave plain portions of tape between successive lengths of fasteners.

Abstract: 875,912. Ventilating air raid shelters; chimneys and flues. BERGMAN, S. G. A., and STALFORS, J. B. Feb. 10, 1960 [March 4, 1959], No. 4671/60. Classes 25 and 137. A device for protecting the air ventilating channels of air raid shelters against air shock waves comprises a channel 1 which widens at 2 to house a conical valve 3 which slides on a shaft 4 and is normally kept in an open position by springs 5 and 6. A shock wave from the direction of the arrows impinges on the valve to close it against a seating 7 and a support grid 8 as shown in position 3a. In the advent of back pressure the valve closes the passage in the position 3b. In a modification in which the shock wave is totally excluded from the ventilating channel, the part of the wave which operates the valve is made to travel along a straight tube whereas the part which would communicate with the valve opening travels along a longer helical path so that the valve has time to close before the wave can pass through it. In a further modification the longer path to the valve opening is formed through a separate ventilation opening. A pin and spring device for automatically locking the valve in a closed position is also described.

Title: Synthetic phosphor and method of producing it
IPC: C09K11/77
Filed: 1963-02-06
Abstract: A phosphor consists of strontium aluminate activated with divalent europium oxide.  The concentration of the europium oxide in the strontium aluminate amounts to between 2 and 8, preferably 3, mol. per cent.  The phosphor can be prepared by mixing strontium oxide and aluminium oxide, or compounds which produce strontium aluminate on being heated, with europium oxide or europium compounds which produce europium oxide on being heated, and firing the mixture at about 1500 DEG  C. under reducing conditions, e.g. in a stream of forming gas consisting of 20% by volume of hydrogen and 80% by volume of nitrogen.  In a particular example strontium carbonate, aluminium hydrate and trivalent europium oxide are mixed and fired three times at 1500 DEG  C. for an hour in a stream of forming gas.  Other europium compounds referred to are the carbonate and hydroxide. The proportions of strontium oxide and aluminium oxide in the phosphor can be different from the stoichiometric proportions and the aluminium oxide can be present in an excess of about 10 to 20 mol. per cent. A specific phosphor referred to is 0.9 SrO, 1 Al2O3. 0.03 EuO.  When energized by the mercury resonance line 365 mm  the emission spectrum shows a wide-band spectrum with a maximum at about 520 mm .
